Happy Diwali!

Last year, we celebrated Diwali in Little India in Jackson Heights in Queens.  We dined at the Jackson Diner with Greg's cousin Heather and her wonderful family.   

This year, we celebrated Diwali today at an excellent restaurant here in Florence, the Royal India Ristorante.  The food was authentic and great.  .

Not sure what Diwali is?  Here is the answer:

Diwali, la Festa delle Luci, è una delle più antiche e importanti feste celebrata in tutta l'India. Si ricorda il ritorno di Rama, manifestazione di Vishnu, nella sua capitale Ayodhya, dopo 14 anni di esilio e peregrinazioni.


Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of the oldest and most important festivals celebrated all over India. He remembers the return of Rama, manifestation of Vishnu, in his capital Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and wandering.
